Finally the age old problem that we pawrents have been avoiding like a dog avoids their medicine has a solution. Thanks to the ingenuity of Ruff & Puff dog training in Canada, there are now tens of puppers who are spending the time their pawrents are away at work wagging their tails with a bunch of their pupper pals. All while being carted around in the cutest converted school bus you have ever seen.

It is no big surprise that this sweet story comes to us from the dailyaww subreddit, considering how darn awwdorable this tale is. But we have to say that the conversion of the school bus to be canine appropriate truly is a surprise. While programs similar to this one exist around the world, they are more likely to use some sort of van with cages to pick up and drop off pups. Which is quite frankly a sad way to travel, especially when you are being treated to a nice day out from the loneliness of your home. So the way that this dog trainer has approached the problem is really rather wonderful and creates a sense that these doggos are being treated to the best conditions pawssible.  

Which is quite the relief. For as much as we might not like to admit it, the time our pups spend alone while we are at work is heartbreaking. It is a sad existence for a hooman to be laying around the house all day waiting for someone to come home, and even more for a pupper who needs play and exercise to feel whole. So take this story as a reminder that there is a solution to this problem and that if you so choose to, you can make a massive difference to your pup's quality of life.

  • Does anyone else wish they had a box of tissues to soak up their happy tears? We certainly do. Finally all those puppers who are left alone all day long have a real answer to their problems. Sure, we all try to do our best, hiring dog walkers, leaving the TV on pupper programming while we are out. But those are only bandaid solutions to a problem which means that most dogs spend a majority of their lives lounging around an apartment that is generally too small for them. Why shouldn’t they get to go out and play with other puppers?

  • Seriously, if you have the means to do something like this please do it for your local canine community. Do not think of the money, do not think of the effort. Think of the tens of pups who you will be able to keep company. Helping them avoid feelings of loneliness, while giving them the opportunity to be who they are to the max. Because there is nothing more dog-like than a bunch of doggos big chilling all day long. So take notes and have a think about how you might be able to help your local canines.
